“don't touch me!”
That's the line Arthur gets when he wants to touch a blonde girl who looks the same age as him.
Arthur did not take the saying badly, he assumed that the girl was just scared. Although for other reasons, he still received bad words, after all he was used to being shunned.
“Alright... In that case, I will be leaving soon.”
Feeling a sense of rejection and fear in the girl, Arthur chooses to go away, but suddenly the girl changes her mind and holds Arthur's hand.
“T-wait, how can you leave a cute girl like me here?”
The style of speech he did was different from just now. Although he looked panicked and frightened, there was pride and arrogance when he said so.
Arthur looked over, he was beginning to be confused. “Didn't you just tell me not to touch? But why are you holding my hand and stopping me?”
“A-ah... at least let me go to the house! You have no feelings!”
This was the first time Arthur had spoken to someone after such a long time. Usually after becoming a nameless hero, he would receive thanks, but one would definitely be frightened by the realization that he was infected with umbral plague.
But, this girl in front of him had no feelings of fear.
“By-good. Where is your home?”
“Actually not a house, but it would be more appropriate if it is called a palace.”
He placed both of his hands on his chest, looking arrogant to his words.
“Hah? What did you say?”
“As I said, I was in the palace. Because I'm a princess.”
“Pft~ Seriously? You princess? It's the first time I've seen a princess kidnapped by bandits,” Arthur said with a slight laugh.
The girl's face flushed red with anger. “Do not laugh! I'm serious, I'm the princess of the kingdom of Anggelisa.”
Hearing the royal name Anggelisa, Arthur realized something. At first she hoped that this was just her mind, but the blond hair and blue eyes belonged to this girl. He is from the Rosemary family.
“Switch, huh? You must be the Rosemary family, right?”
“It's true! I'm Fiona Rosemary, thank you for hearing my name!”
He once again spoke in an arrogant tone, Showing off that he had an important person. Fiona Rosemary is the third daughter of Arthur.
“So so, that's a good thing. So since you are a great princess, then going home alone is not a bad thing, right?”
Arthur walked away, about to leave Fiona who was still wrapped in his pride.
“Wait! Ah, basic.” Unwilling to be left behind, Fiona runs and walks with Arthur.
“….”
“…”
Silence enveloped the two men. Fiona was more irritated because the person next to her kept increasing the speed of walking, as if to stay away.
“Oi! Don't leave me, and say something!”
“Woi, you hear? … Oi!”
Arthur sighed, to be honest he could easily leave Fiona, but later on who would bring the girl back.
Given that a royal princess was kidnapped by bandits, something serious must have happened in Fiona, and perhaps it was related to the mission of the heirs of the Dark Sword Technique that Arthur had inherited.
The task Arthur inherited was to collect seven pieces of the demon king's body and destroy them. Previously Elli had indeed managed to revive the demon king, but it was only a soul.
In order to avoid a hundred percent awakening of the demon lord, Arthur must destroy the seven pieces before they are in the hands of the demon lords and their cradles.
That was the duty of the heirs of the Darkness sword technique. They guarded the seven pieces of the body. Because actually, I used to. Allan Midnight, the founder of the first Darkness sword technique managed to defeat the demon lord and cut him into seven pieces.
“Hey, say something!”
Arthur opened his eyes wide, thanks to Fiona saying his daydream disappeared. Seeing the girl who kept fussing made Arthur a little sick. He walked without saying anything.
“Cih! … By the way, who are you? I want to know your name. J-don't get me wrong! I just wanted to open the chat because you didn't say anything! It's not like I'm interested in your name!"
Fiona's fussy and meddling attitude inexplicably reminds her of someone in the previous world. She looks a lot like a girl named Nana.
Arthur looked at the ceiling, he thought of what Nana was doing now in the human world. Arthur just hopes that Nana doesn't do anything reckless anymore.
“Hey, I've already bothered asking for names! So quickly give an answer!”
Due to his resemblance to Nana, making Arthur's heart become a little calm, he involuntarily smiled.
“Sorry, for now confidential.”
He certainly could not say that he was the son of the lost kingdom of Midnight. Especially in the Rosemary family which is the enemy of his family. Something will happen later.
Finished smiling Arthur walked away again. And this is enough to piss Fiona off.
What a secret, you pretentious..
That's what came to the blonde girl's mind. But even though he thinks Arthur sucks, he still thanks him. Even if he can't be honest.
“Hei, wait!”
... ***...
After walking for a long time the day became afternoon. Arthur and Fiona have arrived at a city not far from their destination kingdom.
“Are you Tired, Fiona?” arthur asked, because he realized that the girl was exhausted.
“Who do you think I am? This is nothing!”
Of course this is a lie, in fact Fiona is sweating and her breathing is messy. This was his way of covering up his weakness and Arthur was well aware of his attitude.
“Do not lie!”
“I'm not lying-“
Before he could finish speaking, it rained heavily on Arthur and Fioan, who were not wearing umbrellas. Sensing the cold, Arthur had a proposal.
He walked over and held Fiona's hand. “Rain, let's find lodging.”
Fiona wants to refuse, but the fact that she has been born and is raining heavily so she is forced to follow the advice of Arthur.
Arriving at the inn, Arthur opened the door and immediately walked to find a room.
“Excuse me, I want to find a room.” Said Arthur to the woman who looked like the owner of this inn.
“Oh, can. Do you want one room with your partner?”
He misunderstood. What the couple meant was none other than Fiona, the reason why she could think like that was because. Arthur held the girl's hand up to the inn. Normal people must think they're a couple, so Arthur thinks this is normal, but Fiona is embarrassed by this misunderstanding.
“We are not pasan-“
“Yes, I want one room with him.”
Before Fiona finished talking Arthur had cut her off, this made Fiona blush even more. It's her first time in a room with a man.
He desperately wants to refuse, but Arthur keeps cutting off the conversation so they are forced to. And with a feeling of defeat, now Fiona has to sleep one room with Arthur.
